Before officially launching this I would like to get an indication if enough people are interested in participating to make it worthwhile. :) Now that the snow is flying (in some parts of the country, anyway) perhaps people might be looking for some other hobby-related activities. We have been...

This afternoon I took my daughter shopping and we went to an antique store in our local downtown area (small town). It was really a great store, I love antique stores, for the obvious reason I guess... anyway, my daughter was pointing things out and exclaiming over them and asking questions...

At the request of several members we have added a classified/for sale section under the Hangout category. Rules are posted for use of that section. :)

The classifieds section is provided as a service for established members of the American Detectorist forum to buy, sell, and trade personal detecting-related items. Please remember that the ability to post items in the classifieds section of the American Detectorist forum is a privilege, not a...

... not a lot, but better than shopping! :rolleyes: :) I am back in Iowa for a couple of days with family and managed to escape... oops, I mean, I managed to get out for a few hours to detect. :) I had a couple of spots that I thought might be promising, and not nearly enough time to try them...

I was curious if others are planning to try to get some detecting in over the next few days. I am going back to Iowa for Thursday through Sunday and have big plans to hit several spots. My parents and siblings keep trying to schedule my time though ;) :rolleyes: I'm going to end up detecting at...

I had a situation come up this evening with my daughter which is really bothering me. Any input/advice would be great. I am divorced from her dad, so it's just me with this, and no one to run these things by. She is 8, in 3rd grade. When she came home from school tonight she was crying and she...

I decided to start a separate thread on this rather than hijack the thread which generated my question. :) I always used ferrous sounds (and liked it) on the SE, but I used conductive sounds on the E-trac. For those who use ferrous sounds on the E-trac, how does that work, and what is the...

We want to thank all the members for helping us as we continue to build this forum. We are working on different ways to spread the word about this site, and would like to encourage everyone to please invite others here if you think they might be interested in participating. Our goal is to...

For those who are interested, we have enabled the option for members to choose one of several different forum themes rather than the default theme you see now. Included is the theme we were using before the upgrade, 'Classic YaBB SE', although currently the emoticons are not visible with that...

I've just been reading a little about this new detector that White's is introducing for the holidays, at $180. It sounds like they took the Prizm III and made it red (RED! :shocked04: ), renamed it, and dropped the price. It should compete nicely with the ACE250, at around $30 cheaper. The...

If anyone is experiencing any problems that might be related to the upgrade last night, such as smileys and/or formatting keys not appearing in the message center or when posting, please let one of us know. Thanks! :)

Hey everyone.... Got a request today to look for a ring tomorrow among the leaves in someone's yard here in my town. I haven't found, or really tested, much gold on the E-trac so I'm wondering what Fe/Co you think it would be most likely to hit around. She said it is a 14k very thick white gold...

I always wanted to say that :grin: I was able to spend a good amount of time detecting this past week. Although the silver was hard to come by in a couple of really heavily hunted parks, I was happy to find two mercs and my favorite, a 1908-O barber dime, fairly low mintage, in nice shape. The...

Hi everyone and welcome :) I am from Versailles, KY which is a suburb of Lexington, and is the place where most of the horse farms are that produce Kentucky Derby horses. Unfortunately most of the land is inhabited by horses and isn't detectable...
